Yes we do need all sorts of fats for the brain and actually a baby's brain needs about 18% DHA and other essential fatty acids. But it needs even more arachidonic acid and yes cholesterol. However,...

Thank you everyone, words can't express the kindness I feel from you all. I have read it so many times here but it is true, this really is an amazing site.

Rawpriestess - WOW, you certainly...

Hi

I'm fairly new around here, although I have posted a couple of times.

I decided that Monday was Day 1 of my raw challenge. Fortunately I was busy and didn't have time to start my journal.

What great ideas, thank you Ole for asking the question. I can't believe I have been throwing the pulp onto the compost - and so expensive :eek:

I have some almonds soaking now and really...

Hi Ole

I am really looking forward to answers to this one as well as I am making a lot of almond milk.

I have dehydrated it and then ground it down in the blender to make an almond flower. ...

Take at look at this link:

Which talks about some studies taking place at the Cornell University.

I also agree with your hubbie that high stress and...

Hi, I am also fairly new to this and I am hooked on avocados, cherry tomatoes and watercress and/or baby spinach, I then add a little oil (an Omega 3 & 6 blend) and apple cider vinegar - so quick and...

Not had that effect myself but it does remind me of the first time I drank wheatgrass juice. I grew it myself and of course juiced it. I didn't know you were meant to have "shots" and prepared 1/2...

Hi RawTruth

I have the GreenStar and yes it is big but I love it!! You get used to the assembly bit quick. I know when I first had mine it seemed a mammoth task - now I hardly give it a thought....

Hi Sunny

I have the Greenstar and love it. It is a machine you only buy once - it should last years. I have had mine a year now.

The juices are very high quality as they don't "tear" the...

Hi Jules, I am also in the UK and read this forum regularly. Haven't yet done "The Challenge" but seriously considering it. I have been eating a lot more raw, so just finding my way round - want to...

Thanks Autumn, great site

Hi Walkin, Chlorella is my absolute favourite supplement. It may also be very helpful to your Dad if he has any CAT scans or other X-rays as it also helps to take radiation out of the body.

Actually, you may want to try magnesium. Calcium aids contraction and magnesium helps to relax muscles. Greeny leafy veg are very high in magnesium as magnesium is to chlorophyll as Iron is to...

Hi Alice, I did a weekend with Chad Sarno and he said that you couldn't dehydrate for too long as the food just got drier, nothing else changed.

Pailani and Olive, I totally agree with you. It's what works that counts. That's why I want to go 100% raw and form my own views. In fact, until I do this, I don't have any opinion (a bit like...

Hi, I am a relative newbie around here and I am really interested in going raw and intend to do the Raw Challenge - still at the reading, researching and preparing stage - mentally and practically.

Oh Debbie, I forgot to say, good luck with the Nutritionist, would love to hear how you get on. If you haven't already decided on anyone in particular, then find one that is not only well qualified...

There are in fact quite a few of my "Nutritionist Friends" that are either into Raw Food or are at least aware of it.

In fact that is how I became aware. I also tutor nutrition in London and it...

Hi Rawmommie

When I make fruit leathers, I never use any other sweetner, the fruit, especially once dehydrated, has its own concentrated sweetness.

I also love coconut so often mix that in as...

Hi Alice

I tend to buy mine in bulk (cheaper) and keep them in the fridge. This will extend their shelf life

Bear in mind though that they have often been kept for some time in a warehouse...

Hi again

Thanks everyone for your views and especially to VeggieGirl - fantastic! I will try and play the part although my body language does tend to give me away and I am probably being more...

Hi everyone

Well its that time of year again! Full of good intentions and new beginnings. I have just found this site after watching (most of) Alissa's DVD, which I purchased for myself as a...
